10.2.1 Creating the method and selecting a column
Start out by creating an empty method and selecting a column:
ActionStep
In the Method Editor, click New on the File menu.1
Click the chosen system, select
Method Editor, and click OK. The new
method will show in the Text pane as
a Main block with a Base definition
(figure).
2
Click on the field named Columns in
the Parameters area in the Instruc-
tion box. This field display a popup
list of available columns.
Select the RTP-column that is to be
used, and click Change. (Note that
ReadyToProcess columns start with
“RTP” in the list.)
3
Set the Flow_Warning instruction to
Disable and click Insert. This action
will avoid repeated display of the
warning message “No flow in begin-
ning of method”.
The flow warning will pop-up since
inlet and outlet must be set before
flow can be started. It is also crucial
to use Time as base in this type of
block, because if Volume is chosen
and no pump instruction is used,
nothing will happen.
4
The column chosen is now displayed in the Text pane together with the in-
struction to disable flow warnings.
